Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A question not asked, is a door not opened. Great book -penetrating insights.
The author draws on a wide range of relevant and up to date material, and provides plenty of practical/organisational examples. To make a strong case for using questions, to improve individual/team and organisational performance.

A good example of the content is to be found on page 66. This is a summary of the benefits of asking "great" questions:

* Cause the person to focus and stretch.
* Create deep reflection.
* Challenge taken for granted assumptions that prevent people from acting in new and forceful ways.
* Generate strength and courage.
* Lead to breakthrough thinking.
* Contain the keys that open the door to great solutions.
* Enable people to better see the situation.
